3. Purposes of the processing for which the personal data are processed as well as the legal basis for the processing

3.1. Processing of access data

For technical reasons, we process a limited amount of data (so-called connection data) each time you access our website. This data is technically necessary to set up and execute a connection between your end device and our servers. This data is processed in the main storage of the web server for the duration of the connection.

The following data or data categories are collected:

  • IP address
  • Source port of the accessing device or a gateway (e.g. firewall or proxy)
  • Time stamp (date and time) of the request
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Operating system used
  • Message, whether the request was successful (using HTTP error code)
  • Message, explaining why the request failed (using the HTTP error code)
  • Referer (website from which our main page or subpages were accessed)
  • User agent (type of browser used to access our website as well as its version)
  • Language settings of your browser

The IP address, timestamp, client information (browser type and version), operation system and referrer information are automatically logged when you visit our websites and stored for 7 days to ensure the functionality and protection of our websites. The logs are also used to optimize the websites. We cannot create user profiles with personal references using this data.

The storage of information in the end user’s terminal equipment or access to information is carried out in accordance with Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG. The processing of personal data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. A balancing of interests was carried out and concluded that the processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and that these outweigh your interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms that require the protection of personal data. We have a legitimate interest in providing users with our websites and the services offered on them.

3.2. Cookies and similar technologies

3.2.1 General

This website uses cookies and related technologies (e.g., scripts) in some cases. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. These are small text files that are stored on your device and saved by your browser, for example to “remember” information about you, such as your language settings or login information. Some of these cookies are set by us and are referred to as first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies and related technologies that originate from a domain other than the website you are visiting.

By selecting the appropriate technical settings in your internet browser, you can be notified before cookies are set and decide individually whether to accept them, as well as prevent the storage of cookies and the transmission of the data they contain. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. However, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

The following links provide information on how to manage (e.g. deactivate) cookies in the most popular browsers:

We generally distinguish between the following categories:

  • Technically necessary cookies and related technologies (“Essential”)
  • Statistical cookies and related technologies (“Statistics”)
  • Functional cookies and related technologies („External Media“)

Further information on the individual categories and the option to reject each category (with the exception of those that are technically necessary) can also be found in our consent management tool “Borlabs Cookie.” You can access this at any time via the permanently visible icon at the bottom left of our website.

3.2.2. Technically necessary cookies and similar technologies

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Such cookies are technically necessary for the operation of the website and to provide the service requested by the user and therefore cannot be deactivated.

The storage of information in the end user’s terminal equipment or access to information is carried out in accordance with Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG. The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the optimal functionality of the website and a user-friendly and effective design of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. A balancing of interests was carried out and concluded that the processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and that these outweigh your interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms that require the protection of personal data.

3.2.3 Cookies requiring consent, such as analysis and tracking cookies and similar technologies (e.g., tracking scripts)

The website also integrates third-party services such as advertising, marketing, and analysis tools, as well as other third-party services (e.g., online video platforms). These are not technically necessary for the operation of the website, but serve, for example, to record the user’s behavior, create a user profile and send them tailored advertising, or enable an analysis of the use of our website (e.g., Google Analytics and Google Ads).

An overview of all third-party services integrated into the website, as well as detailed information on each of these services, can be found in section 10.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (for contracts with natural persons) or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (for contracts with legal entities). Accordingly, processing is necessary for the performance of a contract.

3.6 Processing in connection with newsletter registration and newsletter tracking

If you would like to receive regular information about new products or other interesting topics, you can register to receive our newsletter at https://www.menlosystems.com/newsroom/#newsletter.

You will then receive an activation link to the email address you provided, which you must click on to complete the registration process (known as the double opt-in procedure).

Your subscription to the newsletter will only become active once you click on the activation link. If you do not click on the link, your data will be automatically deleted after 14 days. The confirmation link will become invalid. This ensures that no third party has misused your personal data.

The following data or data categories are collected and processed:

We use this information to analyze and improve our newsletter offering.

The following data or data categories are collected or processed in this process:

  • E-Mail
  • Optional data provided by you (e.g., first name, last name, company)
  • Technical information generated during the sending and tracking of the newsletter (e.g., time of opening, click behavior)

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, i.e., your express and voluntary consent.

You can revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons. There are several ways to do this:

The legal basis for the processing of your data is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. A balancing of interests was carried out and concluded that the interests of the data subjects do not outweigh our interests in processing. In this case, we have a legitimate interest in conducting and planning seminars and training courses and, in connection with this, in concluding contracts with business customers, for which the registration process and the associated processing of the data and data categories mentioned here are necessary.

If the data collected during registration originates from natural persons for the purpose of registering and planning the corresponding event and concluding contracts, the data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the performance of a contract.

4. Automated decision-making, including profiling

Automated decision-making including profiling pursuant to Art. 22 Sec. 1 and Sec. 4 GDPR do not take place on the part of Menlo Systems.

5. Transfer of personal data to a third country

Data transfers to countries outside the EU and the European Economic Area (“Third Countries”) arise in the context of the administration, development and operation of IT systems. The transfer takes place only on the basis of

  • an adequacy decision of the European Commission according to Art. 45 GDPR.
  • an approved certification mechanism pursuant to Art. 42 GDPR, together with legally binding and enforceable commitments by the controller or processor in the third country.
  • standard data protection clauses adopted by the Commission pursuant to the examination procedure referred to in Art. 93 Sec. 2 GDPR.

Currently, when using our websites, personal data is transferred to third countries through the use of third-party services in the following cases:

  • Transfer of data to Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
  • Transfer of data to Microsoft Corp, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, Washington, 98052-6399, USA.

For the US, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission within the meaning of Art. 45 (3) GDPR, which extends to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). For data exports to recipients in the US who are certified under the DPF, the level of data protection is therefore considered adequate. The service providers Google Inc. and Microsoft Corp have certified themselves under the DPF and are thus committed to complying with European data protection principles.

6. Categories of recipients of data and data sources

6.1 Categories of recipients of data

For the processing of personal data for the purposes mentioned here, we use the following categories of recipients as processors within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR:

10. Data protection information for all third-party services integrated into the website

10.1. Data protection information on the use of Google Analytics

These websites use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, web storage in the browser, and tracking pixels to analyze your use of the websites. The following information, among other things, may be collected:

  • Host name of the accessing computer (IP address)
  • Browser type/version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
  • Click path
  • Date and time of the server request
  • Location data
  • Purchase activities

Your data may be linked by Google to other data, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices, and any other data that Google has about you.

The storage period for data generated by Google Analytics is 14 months. After that, all data is automatically deleted. We have also added the code “anonymizeIP” to Google Analytics on these websites.

The data generated about your use of the websites is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission within the meaning of Art. 45 (3) GDPR, which extends to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). For data exports to recipients in the USA who are certified under the DPF, the level of data protection is therefore considered adequate. Google has certified itself under the DPF and is thus committed to complying with European data protection principles.

The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing these websites and their visitors, as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. On behalf of the operator of these websites, Google will therefore use this information to evaluate your use of the websites, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the websites (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

The storage of and access to information in the end user’s terminal equipment is based on informed consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The legal basis for the further processing of your personal data is your voluntary and informed consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can give your consent via the consent banner.

10.2. Data protection notice on the use of Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. This application manages JavaScript tags and HTML tags, which are used to implement tracking and analysis tools in particular. Data processing serves the purpose of designing and optimizing our website in line with user needs. Google Tool Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and, as a rule, no data is collected. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, provided they are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

However, Google Tag Manager collects your IP address, which may be transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. For the US, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission within the meaning of Art. 45 (3) GDPR, which extends to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). For data exports to recipients in the USA who are certified under the DPF, the level of data protection is therefore considered adequate. Google has certified itself under the DPF and is thus committed to complying with European data protection principles.

The storage of and access to information in the end user’s terminal equipment is based on informed consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The legal basis for the further processing of your personal data is your voluntary and informed consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can give your consent via the consent banner.

Further information on Google Tag Manager can be found at: https://developers.google.com/tag-platform/tag-manager?hl=de or https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/

10.3 Data protection notice on the use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps to display interactive maps and to create directions. Google Maps is a map service provided by Google Inc. LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

By using Google Maps, information about the use of this website, including your IP address and the (start) address entered in the route planner function, may be transmitted to Google in the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission within the meaning of Art. 46 (3) GDPR, which extends to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). For data exports to recipients in the USA who are certified under the DPF, the level of data protection is therefore considered adequate. Google has certified itself under the DPF and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles.

When you visit a page on our website that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google’s servers. The map content is transmitted directly from Google to your browser and integrated into the website. We therefore have no influence on the scope of data collected by Google in this way. To the best of our knowledge, this includes at least the following data:

  • Date and time of the visit to the website in question,
  • Internet address or URL of the website accessed,
  • IP address, (start) address entered for route planning.

We have no influence on the further processing and use of the data by Google and therefore cannot accept any responsibility for this.

If you do not want Google to collect, process, or use data about you via our website, you can deactivate JavaScript in your browser settings. In this case, however, you will not be able to use the map display.

The storage of and access to information in the end user’s terminal equipment is based on informed consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The legal basis for any further processing of your personal data is your voluntary and informed consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can give your consent via the consent banner.

For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Google, please refer to Google’s privacy policy.

10.4 Privacy notice regarding the use of Microsoft Clarity

We also use Microsoft Clarity on our websites. This is a web analytics service provided by Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 USA.

Microsoft Clarity is a tool that companies can use to check the usability of their websites. To do this, Microsoft Clarity records selected user sessions. Companies can then evaluate the sessions. The tool provides measurements that indicate potential usability issues. Microsoft Clarity also uses cookies for this purpose, as well as a tracking code that is executed when this service is called up.

Microsoft Clarity collects user data such as

  • IP address
  • Access times
  • Time zone setting
  • Operating system and platform
  • Geographical origin of the page view
  • Duration of visits to specific pages
  • Information about website interaction (e.g., scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs)

We use Microsoft Clarity with the so-called anonymization function. With this function, Microsoft shortens the IP address within the EU or EEA. Microsoft Clarity itself states that it masks or anonymizes sensitive data before forwarding it to Microsoft.

The data collected is in turn used by Microsoft to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our websites and the usage activities there. This data may also be used to provide other services related to the use of our websites and the use of the Internet.

When using Microsoft Clarity, personal data may also be transferred to Microsoft servers in the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission within the meaning of Art. 45 (3) GDPR, which extends to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). For data exports to recipients in the USA who are certified under the DPF, the level of data protection is therefore considered adequate. Microsoft has certified itself under the DPF and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles.

The storage of and access to information in the end user’s terminal equipment is based on informed consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The legal basis for the further processing of your personal data is your voluntary and informed consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can give your consent via the consent banner.

For more information about data protection at Microsoft and Clarity, please visit the Microsoft website at http://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement/ and https://clarity.microsoft.com/lang/de-de

10.5 Privacy notice regarding the use of YouTube

We use the function for embedding YouTube videos from YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (“YouTube”) on our website. YouTube is a company affiliated with Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).

YouTube videos can be played directly from our website. When embedded, content from the YouTube website is displayed in parts of a browser window. However, YouTube videos are only accessed by clicking on them separately. This technology is also known as “framing.” When you visit a (sub)page of our website that contains YouTube videos integrated in this way, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser.

YouTube content is only integrated in “extended data protection mode.” YouTube itself provides this mode and thus ensures that YouTube does not initially store any cookies on your device. However, when you visit the relevant pages, the IP address and other data (e.g., browser used, operating system and its interface, language and version of the browser software, date and time of the query) are usually transmitted by means of YouTube scripts, thereby communicating in particular which of our Internet pages you have visited. However, this information cannot be assigned to you unless you have logged in to YouTube or another Google service (e.g., Google+) before visiting the page or are permanently logged in.

As soon as you start playing an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only stores cookies on your device that do not contain any personally identifiable data, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service. These cookies can be prevented by adjusting your browser settings and extensions.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

The data collected is usually transferred to a YouTube or Google server in the USA and stored there. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission within the meaning of Art. 45 (3) GDPR, which extends to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). For data exports to recipients in the USA who are certified under the DPF, the level of data protection is therefore considered adequate. YouTube and Google have certified themselves under the DPF and are therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles.

The storage of and access to information in the end user’s terminal equipment is based on informed consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The legal basis for the further processing of your personal data is your voluntary and informed consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You give your consent via the consent banner.

For more information on the collection and use of data by YouTube and Google, please refer to YouTube’s privacy policy at https://www.youtube.com/t/privacy

10.6 Privacy notice regarding the use of Borlabs Cookie

Our websites use the consent management tool “Borlabs Cookie” to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies and related technologies on your device and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. This technology is provided by Borlabs GmbH, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg, Germany (hereinafter “Borlabs Cookie”).

Borlabs Cookie is used to consent to the storage of cookies and related technologies that are not technically necessary in a manner that complies with the law and to enable the revocation of this consent. This ensures that cookies from individual categories (e.g., statistics, marketing) are only set once the relevant consent has been given and that this consent is logged so that legal proof can be provided.

Borlabs Cookie stores a technically necessary cookie in your browser for this purpose, in which the following information is stored:

  • the cookie categories you have selected or your consent or revocation,
  • a pseudonymous ID with which your consent decision can be assigned to the browser used,
  • date and time of consent or change of settings.

This does not directly assign you as an identified user, but only refers to the device or browser used. According to the provider, IP addresses are not stored permanently, but are only processed to the extent that is technically necessary for the delivery of content.

The information stored in Borlabs Cookie regarding your consent preferences is generally stored for as long as the corresponding Borlabs cookie is present in your browser. The storage period for this cookie is 60 days, unless you delete the cookie yourself in your browser settings beforehand. If you make changes to your settings, this information will be updated accordingly.

Since the cookie set by Borlabs Cookie serves exclusively for the purpose of managing your consents and is therefore technically necessary to provide the telemedia service you have expressly requested, no separate consent is required for this (Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG). The collection and documentation of consent for non-essential cookies and similar technologies is carried out in order to fulfill our legal obligations under the GDPR and TDDDG. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

Further information on data protection and how Borlabs Cookie works can be found in the provider’s privacy policy on the Borlabs website: https://borlabs.io/borlabs-cookie/
